I was watching one of the poverty porn programs the other night and one scene really summed up how these dudes just don't understand money + budgeting.
A guy was showing off his new big TV - I saw the same model for about £900 online. Brighthouse had it on display at £1,700, but the doleman thought it was a great deal at £20 a week for 3 years. He actually thought 3 grand for a TV was fantastic. If he'd saved up and shopped around online for a slightly smaller screen, he'd have been up by about £2,600.
You can't blame Brighthouse when folk are prepared to hand over their benefits.
